Springdale seniors contribute to community beautification

Residents of the Springdale Retirement Centre under one of the birdhouses they built over the winter and placed along the Indian River Walking Trail last week.

SPRINGDALE, NL — Residents of the Springdale Retirement Centre recently placed the birdhouses they built over the winter throughout the community.

One of the birdhouses placed high in a tree along the trail.

The project, partnering with the Indian River Walking Trail committee and the Town of Springdale, saw the residents build birdhouses in January. They got a helping hand from Clarence Oxford on the handiwork — painting, gluing, hammering, and designing the artwork.

During a pleasant day earlier this month, residents took an outing along the Indian River Walking Trail and put up the birdhouses.

Residents of the Springdale Retirement Centre make their way along the Indian River Walking Trail to place the birdhouses they built this past winter.

The project was a nice example of the community coming together to help make improvements to the town in a small way.
